I will be attending a meeting with the Veterans Day Parade committee. We have a Parade on or about Veterans Day in November down Atlantic Avenue in North Long Beach. We have been doing this for several years now and have had many varied entrants including Mexican prancer horses, re-enactors in various uniforms (including WW I and WW II German), Cavalry units of various countries (the WW II German cavalry"man" was actually a pretty girl using the helmet to hide her hair).
We had a problem last year in that a Gay Pride group wanted to be part of our parade but we kept them out with the excuse that they only suddenly showed up and did not apply to be a unit.
This year we are being "asked" to include an Anti-War unit in the parade made up mostly of people protesting the war in Iraq.
Any ideas on this?
